Equipment

  • Large cast iron skillet
  • baking sheet with wire rack

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts, fillet in half
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • salt & pepper
  • 4 strips bacon
  • 8 oz sliced button mushrooms
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 cup Colby Jack cheese, shredded
  • sliced green onions, for garnish

For the sauce:

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp honey

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350℉.
  • Line a cooking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top. Set aside.

Make the sauce:

  • In a mixing bowl combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard and honey. Stir to combine. Set aside.

Prepare the chicken:

  • Cut each chicken breast in half.
  • Season both sides of the meat with garlic powder, salt and pepper.
  • Fry bacon strips in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat until golden and crispy.
  • Remove bacon from the pan and transfer to a paper towel lined plate. Crumble and set aside.
  • Add chicken breasts to the skillet and cook them in the bacon fat until cooked through and golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side.
  • Remove cooked chicken breasts from the pan. Keep warm.
  • Add 2 tablespoons butter to the skillet.
  • Once the butter is melted add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release all their moisture and the liquid has cooked off, about 7-8 minutes.
  • Place cooked chicken breasts on the wire rack.
  • Top with a generous dollop of the sauce.
  • Divide cooked mushrooms evenly between chicken breasts.
  • Divide crumbled bacon evenly between the chicken breasts.
  • Top each piece of chicken with a mound of shredded cheese.
  • Bake in preheated 350℉ oven for 15-20 minutes until everything is heated through and cheese is melted, hot and bubbly.

To serve:

  • Top each piece of chicken with sliced green onions and provide extra sauce on the side for dipping.
